'Arrival Fallacy is the idea that someone is motivated by an idea that they think will be finite, however in reality it is proceeded by something else. This might be described as: I will be only happy after I accomplish X, is only proceeded by l will be happy after I only accomplish Y...'

The truth is, this is a cognitive bias, as the moment of achievement, although glorious, is only fleeting. We're then left feeling let down and lost, unsure where to direct the energy we're so used to calling up to allow us to keep chasing our goals.
